straw bonnet. Others have wings on either
side like MerCury's head with velvet
bows One of blue straw with white wings
and blue velvet bows lined with white
satin, elected from q street urcnin, "She's
daisy" end he broke forth in the song:
"Sail home as straight as an arrow" lay
ing great emphasis on the line, "Whlte
wings, they never grow weary" His ad-
miratiOu was genuine and certainly Spon-
taneOus in its tribute.
A pretty summer dress is made of large
meshed cream COlOred canvas with run
ners of rose pink satin ribbons on the
skirt, the foundation skirt being of pink
surah of the same shade. The POmpa-
dour bodice is made up over low-necked
under bodice of the surah, COM
pleted by draperies of the canvas
passing over the shoulders from the
waist, and the short sleeves are finished
with ribbon runners that end in bow
Just below the shoulders. A second gown
Is of white Brussels net and white failIe,
with lilac satin ribbons run in the broad
hem, and an immense sash Of wide lilac
ribbon set beneath the point of the bodice
at the back. Bronze sandals and lilac
silk stockings are worn with this dress,
and the gloves are of lilac Suede kid,
reaching lust to the elbow, with stand
ing frill above run through with satin
ribbon and tied in tiny bow Oh the top
of the arm.
The young lady resders of the "ladies
column" know that fashion is not re-
striCted to matters of dress, but enters
into modes OF speech, walking, etc. The
latest diCtum is that in walking there
must be as little bending Of the knee as
possible; "a straight knee and the dignlied
stride is the latest fad. The word
to be avoided now is the 1hdis-
eliminate use of "niCe." Only its
use as laid down IN the dictionary is
admissible. Another invasion of girls
vocabulary is the discOutinuance Of
superlatives. There will be much I'M
learning ere the. girl of the period can
discard perfectly lovely" and lawfully
nice" but it must be done; fashions law
is imperative. The gushing girl IS out of
season, and of course no longer tolerated.
Those who have acquired the former
habits must not despair; persistence will
win, and ere they are apprised the subtle
change viii have taken place. OF course
both are affeCtations, but is not the latter
phase more bearable?
MOUCHOIRs.
Fashionable handkerchiefs have very
narrow, hemstitched hens, and & very
small initial embroidered in one corner;
or there may be q delicate vine of en-
brOidery inside the hem, and border of
very narrow EalenCiennes lace. All
white is preferred, although there are
many cOlored handkerChiefs and handker-
chiefs with cOlored borders to use with
special costumes. There are handker-
chiefs in solid red, dark blue, pale blue
and pink, with delicate embroidery in
white on the edges, that will be worn
with summer dresses, tucked in the belt
or the front of the waist. For mourning,
there are handkerchie1s of solid black
with black embroidered edges, also with
fine white embroidery; and for light
mourning, the embroidery is black on

LoUNGTNG GOWNS.
Lounging gowns of easy, simple shape,
without steels or hustle, are admired
alike for their beauty and comfort. Some
are made of thin, shear wool like alba
tross, ana others of the slightly heavier
mousseline de laine, while for midsum-
mer gowns old-fashioned lawn is used,
soft and thin as null, in gay stripes of
cherry or of light blue on white. These
gowns are ali in enc piece, with a full
weist gathered to yoke, held by belt
or outside girdle, and with full straight
breadths in the skirt pressed
into pleats or left quite plain.
